Ag Iyengar Thakkali Thokku

Tomato Thokku is a traditional South Indian relish made by slow-cooking ripe tomatoes with mustard seeds, curry leaves, red chilies, and aromatic spices. Bursting with tangy, spicy, and slightly sweet flavors, it’s a versatile condiment that pairs beautifully with rice, dosa, idli, chapati, or even as a sandwich spread. This thokku is cooked down to a thick, oil-rich consistency for a long shelf life and deep, concentrated taste. A pantry staple in many South Indian homes, Tomato Thokku brings the warmth of homemade comfort to every meal.
